That’s great Leah! Have you tried reading her a wordless picture book? A wordless picture book is a great opportunity for her to tell you what is happening in the story. While reading the story expand on what she says. For example, you might say, “Yes that is a bear … a brown bear. Sometimes bears live in caves.” A good wordless picture book to start with is: “Red Hat” by Lita Judge.

That’s a great joke Andrea! Being silly by telling jokes and making up your own songs and rhymes is a great way to get your kids talking. Check out ‘The Big Book of Laugh-Out-Loud Jokes for Kids’ by Rob Elliott for some more inspiration!
Happy Summer Reading!

I love to make up stories for wordless picture books. Some of my favorites (and there are more) are Inside Outside, Hank Finds an Egg, Journey, The Girl and the Bicycle, The Boy and the Airplane, and Robot Dreams.

That is great that you are reading out loud to family and even animals Lorelei and Morgan! Reading out loud to others is a great way to become a better reader and to encourage others to read! Keep it up!
